Thanks for reply.
Ok I got what I need. I will do this. In struts-config.xml I will put 5
ForwardActions like this
<action path="/Sales_Home" forward="/sales/index.jsp"/>
<action path="/HR_Home" forward="/hr/index.jsp"/>
etc.
At login time a parameter wil be put in the session 'home' with a value of
each users home which is the path attribute of action element defined
earlier. In every JSP the link is provided like this.
<html:link action="<%=session.getAttribute("home").toString()%>">Log
out</html:link>
This will work in JSP's. But how to invoke this action from another action
class. I have to construct a new ActionForward like this.
return new ActionForward("/home.do");Also how to invoke global forward from action class. rgds Antony Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ted Husted" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2003 9:31 PM Subject: Re: How to set action path from Action. > The different entry points should each be represented by their own > ActionForwards.
